Calder Valley Line Manchester Victoria To Leeds Via Bradford Present Day: The Real Ntp

Thanks and for Hollbeck Depot is that in game or not? If in game just port it over from Huddersfield Line NTP 1983 then modernized to fit Calder Valley Line 2021 as originally planned for TSW 2. For TSW 3 2023 version from the 1983 version which is in game.

 

Yh, holbeck depot is in game right now on ntp

 

yeah modern NTP and CVL and merge them and you could drive diverted services from the 185, 68+mk5's or 802 or see them as AI's on occasion too

 

yeah TPE do that a lot I expect It will happen again soon with the Transpennine route upgrade

 

the 180 goes Bradford Interchange, Low Moor, Halifax, Brighouse, Mirfield, Wakefield Kirkgate, Doncaster then non stop to London Kings x

 

the 155 and 170 do not run on the CVL at all and the 156 is a rare occurence I did recently see a pair of 156s though heading off to Wigan Wallgate at Walsden which is quite a bit further down the line from my Local station of Sowerby Bridge

 

You mean the NTP Huddersfield line being modernized the best value seems to be a Modern Day NTP Calder Valley Line with the 1983 Huddersfield line NTP giving railtours

 

I was on about how TPE use the Calder Valley Line as a diversionary route quite a lot if the NTP is closed which makes me quite lucky because i get to see them it will happen a lot more now though because of the Transpennine route upgrade where they are aiming to electrify the line from York-Manchester Victoria and probably increase the speed limit on the route because it is a mainline after all I would quite like to see some 125mph action from the 802 and 100 mph from the 68 and 185 they may even put the 397s on there too because it will be fully electrified in a few years

 

OK then and for TSW 3 Calder Valley Line can be future-proofed to add in playable Services from Mirfield Bridgehouse Sowerby Bridge NTP

 

150/0 is a 150/1 with 3 coaches

 

Thank you for telling me about it since my assumption was that it's the same as a 150/2

 

there are some special cases for example 150 005 is a 150/1 with a 150/2 coach in the middle, I had the pleasure of seeing that on my way back from Preston at Blackburn which was my first time taking the triangular junction from Todmorden

 

great suggestion

 

I agree and furthermore this can be extended to link with Blackpool Preston if the missing section was built Preston Burnley Hebden Bridge that way you can drive an entire Leeds to Blackpool service. I can see this happening if you have both Blackpool Preston and Calder Valley Line. The standard stock 158 Perkins engine 195 170 which is actually at the first page of this suggestion and up running the Calder Vale trips if Blackpool Preston is owned.

 

and you can drive the trans pennine mainline as well

 

With the trains included not really, although a 158 does do Leeds to Wigan services which goes on there until mirfield

 

Do you mean the existing Northern Transpennine also known as the Huddersfield Line. It was my disliked TSW 2020 route because of Class 101 being a Pain in the arse to play with due to the Vacuum Brakes

 

again 170s are not seen on this route at all whatsoever

 

really I thought there was only Huddersfield - Leeds via Halifax

 

yes, but in modern day

 

My reason for adding it here was that I had to use all active Northern Rail DMU fleet

 

I guess the 170s could be ai at Leeds, maybe doing a few ai services up towards harrogate

 

thinking realistically DTG or whoever makes it will NOT make more than 1 new train everything else is either copy pasted from an older route or slightly modified to fit the route so unless another route is made with the 170 it has no chance appearing on here at Leeds

 

You are correct so it means we get the Class 150/2 Northern Rail with the working Armstrong Power House physics package for the train.

 

probably would still get done wrong, the one we have now is 'AP' but somehow the AP sounds were poorly implemented

 

Fine don't helpful and for this route it needs to be the AP sounds properly implemented so that we can hear the Cummins engine work hard between Bradford Interchange to Todmorden/Hebden Bridge steep section of the route Manchester Victoria Manchester London Road the old name for Manchester Piccadilly via Ordsall Chord. Same thing if CVL merges with Blackpool to Preston.
